I've had Vanshades pods in my T5.1 for a few years now and I love them! They're super black out, but they're also amazing at insulating the van - which I never knew about them!I've recently been back in touch with them to have a fly screen fitted and they were so helpful. Eve was really fast at replying and very friendly and the team fitted the fly screen so fast. They're a great company that obviously care about what they do.

I've had my binds filled over 4 years with no faults.Contacted customer service requesting a new blind handle as one was damaged by Bertie the dog chewing it only cosmetic damage.Eve very quickly responded sending a new handle out next day at no cost.Great Customer Service and support well done to all at Vanshades.

A true 5 star company. Absolutely professional from start to finish. Dealing with Jack, Rich and Jake gave so us so much confidence. We had blinds fitted on our T6.1 at the Vanshades production facility and they were able to accommodate our needs even with a tricky fitment behind the splash back. We couldn't recommend Vanshades highly enough.

Ordered three pods, two sliding doors and a rear tailgate. Arrived in good time and well packaged! Easy to follow instructions included, but also ample video tutorials available.The product itself is very well designed and the quality is also very good. A nice snug fit without interfering with the door seals.They have added a very stylish finish to my van, with the added benefit of being black out and colour matched to my interior.Thank you!

Isn't it good when you find a company that are professional, accommodating and true to their word.I've just got home from having a side shade fitted to my VW T5. The whole process from the initial phone call to driving away with my new "van Shades" blind was excellent. Absolutely excellent even!!!All the staff are courteous and attentive even though they are extremely busy.They have a very large, professional production facility which I'm sure they're going to out grow in the near future as the range of products and choice is vast.I chose a grey shade with grey material surround and it transforms my van immensely. The build quality is second to none too, and there's nothing out there (that I've seen) that comes close to this. So much better than curtains.I really appreciate the effort for fitting me in at such short notice (giving you only a few days to make my blind and Install it) even though I know you are absolutely pulled out with work.🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟A 5 star company where nothing is too much trouble.... I'll certainly be coming back when I want a blind for the rear window..Cheers guys and girls, all the very best for the future.From Sean.
